"We should probably set him up in one of the colder rooms so he doesn't die of heatstroke,"
"Can humans even live in hell??"
"We'll see, I guess"
"Ooh, experiment"
"I don't think experiments should be this level of dangerous but okay."
They had their meal and walked into an elevator and stayed until no one but them were in it. Kotsu got nervous. "Hey, wait, are we really going to take this route-??"
"Yep!" She slammed and spammed the button to the 6th floor non-stop then suddenly punched the emergency stop button. Kenshin's eyes were as wide as plates.
Then suddenly, the elevator started going down. Slowly. The kid was relieved.
But then it didn't stop.
Then it got faster.
And faster.
Until the floor was hot.
Thank fuck there's a carpet.
Wait, why is there a carpet?? Nevermind.
Then before they knew it, it was swelteringly hot and they had fallen through the ceiling of a castle with an unknown number of floors and rooms.
The maid, who had just finished cleaning that spot, yelled in frustration.
--×--
"...."
"...."
"...."
".....Why is a fetus here lawl"
Everyone whipped around to look at the one to break the silence.
Spinneret stood there casually slurping her milktea and staring at the elephant in the room. She looked up and around at all the demons and myths staring at her. She moved her mouth away from the straw. "What?"
Takeshi sighed and took a pen and paper from his pocket. It had a list of numbers, starting from -1 to 100 under the title "De Louvre's age??". 0 had a lot of question marks around it and -1 had a tiny note in red ink saying "..Maybe??". He crossed out the numbers 1 - 9, mumbling to himself. "Can't tell the difference between a fetus and a 9 year old, definitely not that age or anywhere below.."
Kaskan was sitting on the counter beside Takeshi and looked over his shoulder, reading and listening to what he was saying. "Dude, I think she was joking."
Kasunobu shook her head. "You guys are underestimating her stupidity."
"HEY!" The Ageless yelled, fist up in anger. The three looked up at her.
"Can you even read the words on your cup?" Kasunobu asked.
"Yeah, duh!" She looked at her cup confidently but as soon as she looked at it her expression wavered into that of nervousness. "Uh.. Starbucks??" Damu choked and wheezed. He turned to the corner and hid his hysterical laughter by covering his mouth. Dee was biting his lips down.
"Nah it's Cocomelon lol" Kaskan kidded.
"Cocomelon has a fucking milktea shop????" She squinted at it again. The letters seemed blurry and kept moving in her eyes. A bunch of people in the room snickered and giggled. It actually said Gong Cha, but there's a store she bought from before that had a name close to Cocomelon.
"How do you walk into human stores with a lack of age and inability to read and *not* get kidnapped??"
"Why do you think I always bring Kila??"
